CSU football players Mike Orakpo and Nordly Capi, two of the three players involved in a St. Patrick Day's fight in which a teammate was slashed with a knife, were suspended Saturday by coach Jim McElwain for what a school spokesman said was an unrelated violation of team rules.

Orakpo and Capi were suspended indefinitely by McElwain along with defensive end Colton Paulhus, according to a one-sentence news release issued by the school's sports information office. Neither McElwain nor the players were available for comment, school spokesman Danny Mattie said.
